Coming soon to a Veracross near you…
You know that page you get after you sign in to Veracross with the calendar and a whole lot of text? That’s called your Veracross “portal” page and it’s about to get a facelift! Please stay tuned in the next week or so for information about what this will look like for you – depending on if you’re a parent, student or teacher. Overall navigation will not change and the sub pages (like where your assignments are, sign-ups, and whatnot) will also remain the same for now, but that first, landing page will look a lot brighter and will have buttons with icons, instead of links. Stay tuned after Parent-Teacher 3-way conferences for more information about what your portal will look like and how to navigate around it. We will roll each one out after our conferences conclude. Get a sneak peek below!
